Ok, I’ll admit it, I have fallen victim to this whole Cauliflower Craze, and this recipe for Loaded Cauliflower Casserole is my new favorite way to eat cauliflower! Cauliflower is growing on my boys, and this recipe was a huge hit with them too! Win-win!

This recipe originally comes from my friend,…

This Valentine’s Day lunch doesn’t get any easier! I never posted a recipe for a Cheese Quesadilla before, because, really, does anyone really need a recipe to cook cheese in a tortilla? Probably not, but I decided to share, because these turned out perfect, and they were absolutely delicious. But what makes this quesadilla so good? It’s the combination between the tortillas stuffed with good cheese, and fried in butter! Because everything is better with butter! Quesadillas are a go-to snack in…

Bacon Wrapped BBQ Meatloaf with Hidden Vegetables!

by Lindsie / August 6, 2017

BBQ Meatloaf is one of my most popular recipes – both on the blog and at home! This version is wrapped in bacon before baking to make it even more delicious. ‘Cause I mean, let’s be honest… who doesn’t like bacon? Like in the original version, puree veggies, and sneak them in! The pureed veggies work as a binder of sorts, but because of the BBQ sauce and the bacon, no one will even know! Trust me, I worked at…
